Maternal infection in the context of actively managed prelabor rupture of membranes at term: An observational study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo assess maternal infection following prelabor rupture of membranes (PROM) at term in a setting where active management is recommended, and to identify associated risk factors.
methodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted including pregnant women admitted to a Portuguese tertiary care center where immediate induction of labor is recommended following term PROM. Women with singleton term pregnancies complicated by PROM, who delivered between January 2020 and July 2023, were included. The primary outcome was intrauterine maternal infection, defined as clinical chorioamnionitis and/or endometritis. A comparative analysis was conducted between groups, based on latency to delivery (≤12 h vs. >12 h). A multivariable logistic regression model was used to evaluate the influence of confounding factors on the association between latency and the primary outcome.
resultsA total of 759 patients with singleton term pregnancies complicated by PROM were included, corresponding to a prevalence of 9.7%. Chorioamnionitis and/or endometritis occurred in 40 patients (5.3%), with significantly different rates between the up to 12 h and the more than 12 h latency groups (0.9% vs. 7.3%, P < 0.001). Latency of more than 12 h was independently associated with maternal infection (odds ratio 9.0; 95% confidence interval 2.1-39.2). Group B streptococcus colonization status was not associated with increased maternal infection risk. Neonatal outcomes were similar between groups.
conclusionThis study demonstrates the increased risk of maternal infection when latency exceeds 12 h following term PROM, supporting the rationale for active management strategies and highlighting the need to evaluate additional prophylactic measures.
